Salt Lake Theatre May Robson in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt
Mary."
Orpheum Advanced vaudeville, headed by the Fadettes of
Boston.
Salt Lake Theatre.
To Miss May Robson, the character actress with a world-wide
reputation, comes the honor of opening the season at the Salt Lake
Theatre, the doors of that historic playhouse being thrown open for
the season of 1908-9 on Thursday night. The play presented was
"The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary," adapted from the novel of the
same name by Anne Warner. "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" has
been proclaimed by thousands of seasoned playgoers as the most
delightful comedy of the present time. It is, to be more precise, a
comedy-drama, and one of that strength and stability that should
guarantee it the position of a favorite for many years to come. That
it has proven a success in the east is not to be wondered at, and that
the play and the players won golden opinions from the most severe
of critics, those who make it their business to see and pass their
judgment upon all plays that come this way, is equally easily under
stood. Miss Robson is, of course, the central figure, and her every
utterance and movement is a constant delight. She has been provided
with able assistants, the result being a performance which very nearly
approaches perfection. This really worth while comedy-drama will be
presented again tonight. It can safely be recommended.
Orpheum.
The Fadettes are again the headliners at the Orpheum this week
in a bill that is a veritable succession of star acts. The program of
this superb orchestra for their second week in this city is made up of
six popular numbers, including "Die Schonne Calanthe," "The Flat
terer," "The Jolly Musicians," "The National Emblem" (march), "The
Gold Dust Twins" and a couple of extras which have been demanded
by an appreciative audience at each performance. Another week's
engagement of this musical organization would be thoroughly appre
ciated, but the Fadettes will on Saturday night journey on to other
fields of conquest. The "sheath" skirt has made its appearance on
the stage in Salt Lake, the dainty little miss of the Two Pucks team
introducing it in her make-up as a Bowery girl. Both the skirt and
tiie little miss were an instantanoeus hit. The Pucks are, in fact, a
joyous success as juvenile vaudeville artists, both being far above the
average as character actors. Redford and Winchester, who came to
the Orpheum direct from Europe, open the bill with an amusing
and very clever juggling, hoop-rolling and balancing act, the comedian
of the team having a number of new stunts that are a constant de
iight. The three Mosher brothers have a bicycle act that is of the
star order. Fred Warren and Al Blanchard are back again with the
s'ame old songs and stories, which seem to take as well as in the
days of yore. Frank Gardner and Lottie Vincent are the principals
in a novel spectacular fantasy, "Winning a Queen," which is a hodge
podge of nonsense, moving pictures and scenic effects. The work'of
the Orpheum orchestra and the Kinodromc machine arc up to the
usual high standard.
